Right im planning a new budget gaming rig, my GPU of choice will be the 560ti and most of the parts are decided apart from the MOBO/CPU combo. with my cpu budget around the £100-£125 mark would i be best suited getting a Dual core i3 2125 or getting a Phenom ii 965/960t. My initial thought was the i3 as it has better per core performance but with newer games utilising more cores wouldnt the phenoms be a better option for the budget as i could always overclock them to match the per core performance?
note: i do quite a lot of multitasking whilst gaming, and like running dual monitor setup.
Many thanks in advance, any input welcome
